VfB Stuttgart vs Borussia Mönchengladbach prediction, odds and how to watch

1899 Hoffenheim took all three points at Borussia Park with a 2-1 victory, but this was a result built on the failings of a Gladbach side that have now lost five Bundesliga matches in a row rather than any great quality from the visitors.

VfB Stuttgart were ruthless in Bratislava, winning 3-0 with goals from Deniz Undav, a Sandro Cruz own goal, and a late Ermedin Demirovic header to expose every basic defensive failing Slovan possess at this level.

FC Köln ground out a hard-fought 2-1 Bundesliga victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach on Sunday, with goals from Ísak Jóhannesson and Saïd El Mala securing three points that their defensive record badly needed.

VfB Stuttgart head into Saturday's Bundesliga clash with three losses in their last five matches. Werder Bremen arrive having scored in every single game across their last five outings.

Hamburger SV welcome Borussia Mönchengladbach on Friday night with both sides haemorrhaging goals and desperately short of confidence. Something has to give, and the question is which backline gives way first.

VfB Stuttgart arrive in Istanbul for their Champions League clash on Tuesday carrying a squad decimated by injuries and suspensions. Galatasaray will fancy this.
